As American women have entered the labour force in greater numbers, the traditional work of wives and mothers - cleaning houses and caring for children - has gradually moved into the global marketplace. Paid domestic work has largely become the work of disenfranchised immigrant women of colour. This volume highlights the voices, experiences, and views of Mexican and Central American who care for other people's children and homes, as well as the outlooks of the women who employ them in Los Angeles.
